My 720 has no problem connecting to my home secured Wifi with password. However, I have never been able to get it to connect properly with Wifi at the airport (public)....I have tried many different settings in the Wifi setup. Sometimes it suggests that I need to signon using the browser (Opera), but this fails because Opera does not format/display the signon web page properly. It also fails at other Wifi locations.

What should my default wifi settings be for such access, if anyone knows?

Many of those redirect access pages are not supported by the Opera browser. First disconnect from any networks that have a PRE to the right of the network name. Then, try this. Connect to the wifi network, confirm you have an IP address, and then touch the "Update" option on the start page menu. This should prompt a secondary browser to pop up so you can agree. Then you should be able to update as well as browse with Opera.

This does not work with all redirect networks, but it does with most that we've tested in hotels, restaurants, etc. I hope this helps.
